Debriefed discogram w/Bertagnoli today. Severe degeneration at all 3 levels... disc in the middle looks ok, but it is getting abused by poor kinematics of surrounding bodies. No question that when I do surgery, all 3 will need to be done. Still a 'quality of life' decision. I can't consider surgery until after my May conference. If things stay as they are now... I'm ready to go.

All the best,

Mark
